Description

Currently, spotifyd --version only shows:

Research direction
Examine the current implementation of version in the main.rs or similar file, and identify how feature flags are compiled. The issue suggests adding compile time feature reporting similar to what other Rust projects do. Look for existing feature flags declared in Cargo.toml (e.g., 'mpris', 'alsa', etc.) and implement a loop that prints supported and unsupported features. Check the issue comments for any suggested approaches or maintainer input.
